Nephropathy induced by contrast media: pathogenesis, risk factors and preventive strategies.
With the increasing use of contrast media in diagnostic and interventional procedures, nephropathy induced by contrast media has become the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. It is also associated with a significant risk of morbidity and death. The current understanding of the pathogenesis indicates that contrast-medium nephropathy is caused by a combination of renal ...
متن کاملContrast-induced nephropathy: pathophysiology and preventive strategies.
Contrast-induced nephropathy is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure, after decreased renal perfusion and nephrotoxic medications. Identification of patients at risk and implementation of preventive strategies can decrease the incidence of this nephropathy. Prevention strategies focus on counteracting vasoconstriction, enhancing blood flow through the nephron, and prov...
متن کاملContrast-Induced Nephropathy Following CT Scan and Its Associated Factors
Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) as a common complication of administration of contrast media (CM) is a major source of hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of CIN after contrast-enhanced CT scan and identifying the related risk factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients att...
متن کاملRisk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy.
An increasing number of diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures require the use of radiographic contrast agents which has led to a parallel increase in the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). CIN is a serious clinical problem associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with chronic renal failure (see the Case Report). A key step to minimize ...
متن کاملPrevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy through a Knowledge of Its Pathogenesis and Risk Factors
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an iatrogenic acute renal failure (ARF) occurring after the intravascular injection of iodinated radiographic contrast media. During the past several years, in many patients undergoing computed tomography, iodinated contrast media have not been used for the fear of ARF, thereby compromising the diagnostic procedure. But recent studies have demonstrated that...
